New Short Story Event in 2010

At the Irish Writers’ Centre we are committed to supporting writers at every stage of their development. With this in mind, we are delighted to announce a new event starting in January 2010. The Lonely Voice: Short Story Introductions will take place on the last Wednesday of every month. Four short story writers will be selected and invited to read their work at the event. We are particularly interested in providing a platform for emerging writers who previously may not have had the opportunity to read their work in public.

Our inaugural event will take place on Wednesday 27th January. We are currently seeking featured readers and are accepting submissions until 8th January. Please send the short story (Max 3,000 words) you would like to read and a short bio to: thelonelyvoice@gmail.com
